Little trip to Peloponnese and some words for a great traveller
CRAZY LADY
-“Are you going to rappel down?"
-"Of course not!"
ET IN ARCADIA EGO
One of the best trips I've taken in recent years was to Arcadia.
I was again with my beloved Olga Harami. Olga is fearless, irrepressible and the perfect traveling companion for photo expeditions. I've rafted with her, walked in a forest where a bear had appeared a few days before, bumped my head on ancient stones and been at her side as driver or co-driver on endless miles of countless winding roads all over Greece.
“A REGION OR SCENE OF SIMPLE PLEASURE AND QUIET”
WORD FIGHTER
Of course, there is much more to it than that. Most importantly: she is the best travel "pen" in the country for many many years, so it was a great honor to be back with her again for another expedition.
Our main stops on this trip: Karitena, Abelionas, Temple of Epicurean Apollo, Lousios River, the top of Lykaion Mountain and Ancient Gortyna.
I don't want to write much about these places, just let you see the photos and imagine how beautiful the nature is there. All I want to say emphatically is that visiting the Temple of Epicurean Apollo has been on my bucket list for a very long time (after all, I am a child of Apollo) and I am glad that when the moment came, Olga was there.
CAN’T SAY NO
Olga and I have laughed a lot on our expeditions, even when, just before both of us collapsed, she would ask me "can we go there and take just a couple of pictures?"
"There" usually means another hour or two.
Of course I didn't jump from 35m tied to a rope into the void. These crazy stuff are Olga's specialty and as you can see, she is extremely happy every time:
Awesome woman.
